>> reporter: every week, he set himself up for disappointment. every week, jamarion styles came to this community center in boca raton, florida, hoping to play basketball with the other kids. and every week, he was rejected. >> they would start picking teams, and i would be the only one left out. they would tell me, just go home. you can break someone's heart like that. >> reporter: as we first reported a couple years ago, the problem was obvious, to everyone but jamarion. he lost his hands and most of his arms as an infant due to a rare bacterial infection, but he insisted that was no reason to give up his hoop dreams. what about soccer? have you heard of that sport? >> yeah, every day. >> reporter: why don't you play soccer? that seems like the obvious thing. >> you would think i would be good at soccer. i'm really not. i'm horrible. >> reporter: which is why on the first day of class at eagles landing middle school, jamarion took his case to basketball coach darian williams. he said he wanted to be on the team. >> i said, "just make sure you

try out." >> reporter: he said, great, but what are you really thinking? >> "this man has no arms." he told me, "mr. winter, i have never been on a team before. even if i don't play, i just want to be on the team." how could i say no to that? >> reporter: and that's how the eagles got their first armless basketball player. jamarion, number two there, quickly earned a reputation as the hardest worker on the squad. >> he was usually the first one in the gym, usually the last one to leave. >> reporter: still, he sat on the bench most of the season, until one day, coach put him in the game with about six minutes left. and when he eventually got the ball, on the far side of the court, everyone yelled, "shoot it!" so he did. and sank a 3-pointer. and if you didn't quite see that, don't worry, because shortly after, he got the ball again, this time on the near side-- for another 3-pointer, at the buzzer. jamarionles, the kid no one would pick, was now everyone's
6:58 pm
hero. since we first told this story, jamarion has continued to play basketball in high school, and now the rising junior is hoping to play football as well. he tried out for the team last year and didn't make it, so, of course, he's trying out again. that's him there in the white shirt. and even if he doesn't make the team, you can bet there will be another sport, because the only thing jamarion styles won't play is the victim. if i could wave a magic wand right now and give you your arms back, would you want them? >> i don't need them. >> reporter: you don't need them? >> nope. >> reporter: who needs hands when you have this kind of touch? steve hartman, "on the road" in boca raton, florida. >> begnaud: isn't it great to end on a smile? that's the "cbs evening news." i'm david begnaud. on behalf of all of us have, a great weekend. captioning sponsored by cbs
